PONYBOY'S POV

I slowly start to open my eyes. I look at the ceiling. It looks unfamiliar. "Ponyboy?" I hear a familiar voice.

I look over and see Soda. "Sodapop..." I hear beeping. "Where am i."

"Shhh baby." He pets my head. "You're in the hospital."

"Why?"

"You got into a coma..."

"What do you.."

"The night dally died you passed out and hit your head really hard."

"No dallys not dead."

He looks over at the door with a worried face. I look at the door too and see darry. "Yeah he is hun" he looks back at me.

"Well I-i just saw him yesterday..."

"He died after Johnny did..."

"Johnny's not dead.. I was just cuddling with him last night..."

"Cuddling?" He looks at me confused.

"Yeah me n him are dating like you and steve."

"No Steve's with evie."

"Wha-"

"You can't be dating Johnny," he laughs a bit. "He's gone baby." I shake my head. "This was all a dream."

"No-"

Darry walks over and sits beside soda. "What else was In This dream."

"You- I ... it's not a dream... this is a dream.. I'm dreaming right now..." I close my eyes tightly.

"Pony.." darry says softly.

I ignore him. It wasn't a dream.

I open my eyes again and look to my left. A heart monitor. I look at my arm. IVs... I pinch myself in the non IV arm. It hurt. But I always felt pain in my so called "dream."

I felt everything. It all felt so real. It was real. But it wasn't. And I can't ever go back. Now johnny and dally are actually gone. I can never see them again. My now last memory of dally is gonna be him hurt km the floor at buck's. But that wasn't dally. So I can't hate him. But that was dally. It had to be. But he wouldn't do something like that...

Johnny was real too. All his kisses were real. All his hugs were real. It felt real. I wasn't in a coma.

But none of it was real.
